Bee hunting is not lost art in the rural districts of eastern Connecticut. September is the month for the business, and the bee hunters are now afield to rob the industrious colonies of their honey. TLey do not place honey on freshly painted board that the flight of the bee may be more readily mark ed by the fresh white paint which adheres to his body, as do the bee hunters of Fenimore Cooper's novel, but they take cup of honey along, catch the bees and place them in it, and then let them go. It is slow process, but a sure one. The bee has desire to get his honey with as little labor as possible, and returns to the cup to get it. In the bees absence the hunter moves in the direction of the bees flight as far as practical and then awaits his return. In this way the hive is found. A good colony yields from thirty to sixty pounds, and practiced bee hunter can make his business pay him better at this season than the average seiner who is fol- lowing the rivers with his net for striped bass.
 The bee hunter has great respect for the bee until after the hive is reached. He coaxes him with honey, handles him. as gloves, and works around hd: but when sharper works man fer the brush and the he gets there.u work, and the generous match qffaintance takes the pot. In this J5ee wisdom and human wisdom seem to be about on the same level-Norwich Bulletin.

 "Here lies the body of the Rev. Noadiah Russell, minister of the gospel in Middle town, who, having served his generation by the will of God, fell Dec. IS, 1713, in the 55th year of his age" His widow, who died at the age of 80 in 1743, is spoken of as a "mother in Israel"
 The epitaph for Mary, the "virtuous con- sort of Jabez Hamlin," and daughter of Christopher Christophers of New London, who died in 1736 at the early age of 22, reads thus:

 Of William Green, died in 1776, it was said: "His natural temper pleasant, serene and steady, sanctifed by divine grace, ren- dered him very endearing in the relation of husband, father, master and friend, and as a member of church and State. Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, saith the spirit.'
 Concerning the Rev. William Russell, who died in 1761, it is recorded: He was i'man of God, eminent for wisdom, prudence and meekness. having served his generation by the will of God as tutor and fellow of Yale college and pastor of the First church in Mlddletown. He fought good fight and kept the faith" His daughter Mary, the I'amiable and virtuous comfort of Matthew Ialcott," who is also buried here, having died in 1799, is spoken of as ''a character much respected by her numerous aequaint- ances in all the walks of life."

THE ELsON-DARROw RACE.
Meriden People Don't Take Kindly to
 the Schema

the Scheme.
 MER1DEN, Sept. 14.-As things look at present the twenty seven hours foot race that was to have begun at the rink here Friday night between Bison of this city and Darrow of New London is off. W. A. Jones repre- senting Darrow was here from New London yesterday and left without making any defi- nite arrangement. He said Darrow would race Bison for the championship belt if the latter's friends would put up half the ex- penses of the race, about $75 This Elson's friends refuse to do. When the race was first talked of they, knowing Bison had no money, were willing to chip in and back him for $50 or $100, taking the chance that Bison would win and they would get back their money. But they do not care to put up for him S75 for expenses that they won't get back should the race be slimly attended, as is not improbable. Furthermore, even if expenses were forthcoming, the interest in Meriden in the race has died out for the = pie reason that it is nothing but uto.ou .aoney. 4 @ making scheme and no one br : taIes 10 nave anything to do with # 4e R pest tnl1g ,,, InaC can be done is have Darrow and Bison race for 1.le belt in New London, and Meri- d~-l people won't shed any tears. no matter which of the two men wins it.
